I don't know the answer so this is just a guess, but it sounds like the
designers are still working things out, hopefully there will be a patch for
it soon, in the meantime have you tried activating parental controls and
allowing everything?
Another possibility, create an administrator user account and try running it
or setting parental controls using that.

Hope that helps!

"Run as Administrator" If the installer doesn't run elevated the installer
may think it's installing, but Vista doesn't allow the files in Program
Files to be created.

Note that people are having problems with these games, if you can't get them
working, consider contacting the game maker and getting a refund.

I have Vista Home Premium and can download and play Bigfish games. The PC
is an HP and I have no problem installing HP's updates.

I'm guessing the difference between my PC and yours is that I have turned
UAC off. I know that a lot of the MVPs will say not to do that, but UAC has
cause more trouble than it is worth and, IMHO, is one reason that many folks
are so unsatisfied with Vista.

Try turning UAC off and see if that solves your problems. You can always
turn it back on when ever you want.

Good luck.

Big Fish Games: A New Free Game Download Every Day

This can probably be fixed by using MS Java instead of Sun Java.
It aperies that microsoft is attempting to strong arm sun Java out of business by forcing the owners of vista to run microsoft java instead of sun java

Java Virtual Machine Download Links - Download JVMs
http://www.itnet.org/ms/msjavx86.exe

Note: MS Java will only work with a Microsoft Internet Explorer browser that is Version 5 or later.

Once you've downloaded the program and scanned it for any malware, follow these steps:
Click Save when prompted.
At the top of the next window, there will be an area that says "Save in:". Immediately to the right, there is a drop-down box where you can select where you want to save the file. Make sure this is set to Desktop (It is the upper most list option)
Click Save. (The file will take anywhere from 1-40 minutes to download, depending on how fast your connection is.)
Once the file is downloaded, find the file named msjavx86_3805.exe. It will be located on your Desktop background.
Double-click the file to start the installation.
When asked "Would you like to install the Microsoft VM?", click Yes.
When installation is complete, you may need to restart your computer.

Next, uninstall the Sun Java Plug-in:
Click the Start button on the Windows Taskbar.
Select Control Panel (this may be under 'Settings' on the Start Menu).
Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
Click Java 2 Runtime environment, SE v1.4.2_01. (Note that the version number may also be SEv1.5 or higher.)
Click Remove.
Follow the prompts to uninstall it.
Also, be sure to remove any "J2SE Runtime Environment..." items as well.

Now completely close all browser windows and try playing again. You're now using the Microsoft Java VM.

Register, it's free, and use the 'search for solution' tab for any problems

UAC = User Account Control

....it's the feature where if you go to install something Windows will ask,
"Are you sure? Continue or Cancel"

It's basically the butt of all Vista jokes, if you disable it, it can fix
some minor issues. The option to disable user Account Control is in the
control panel under "User Accounts".
